A roundup of Code 4 publicity

We’ve been talk­ing about Code 4 at var­i­ous venues the past few months. So I thought I should col­lect the results from those events here, in case you’ve missed them the first time around.

Code 4 is the large-scale game for orga­ni­za­tion­al game we made for the Dutch Tax Admin­is­tra­tion in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Demo­vides and the Utrecht School of the Arts. It uses var­i­ous media to pro­pel play­ers into a game set in the near future, which is inter­wo­ven with their dai­ly work. Broad­ly speak­ing, the aim was to improve participant’s skills in terms of orga­ni­za­tion­al capac­i­ty and client-centeredness..

Read DiGRA practice paper

Watch the Chi Sparks talk

Agent in charge of all things soft­ware Alper Çugun spent a high-paced 10 min­utes talk­ing about the game and its cre­ation process at Chi Sparks in June. Below is a video of that talk:

And of course, a full project write-up is in the port­fo­lio. As men­tioned before, we’re work­ing on a video illus­trat­ing the play­er expe­ri­ence. So stay tuned for more on that.
